The front is sandstone so the colour in question is on the back which spans four levels. The back faces south east so not a great deal of sun in the winter. Unfortunately the builder didn't consult us for the the eaves and garage door colour - they are Colourbond Windspray. The very bottom level contains a garage, each of the three levels above the garage level contain floor to ceiling sliding timber doors. We are thinking we won't paint them however can be swayed. The paint is to cover rendered walls surrounding the doors, walls of the terrace/courtyard, on top of the garage and level 2, including built-in planter boxes. The awnings (underside) require painting also. The terrace/courtyard will be 1/3 timber decking and 2/3 very light beigey coloured granite pavers. The balustrades on three levels is a simple steel rod design and colour is yet to be determined - guessing bridge grey. Internally walls, ceilings and trimmings are Natural White with brush box flooring. I tend to be attracted to the more organic or natural colours. I've been sampling colours such as Nile Clay and 150% Dune. My initial thoughts were a warm grey shade however afraid it will look too cold. Would love some of your thoughts ... Thank you in advance!

I love Terrace’s, so I would just love to see your home as well. I was waiting to get the balconies and balustrades before posting a pic ...

Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7078 Thank you @.
